I’d like to see Newt as president, Cain as vice-president (provided he can get his problems with women straightened out). Another alternative for vice president would be the governor of Virginia, but I’m not sure that president and VP both being from the same state is wise.
Gingrich / Bachman
He’s the only one who can hit the ground at 100 mph and “git ‘er done”.
We need sudden and relentless reform and he can do it.
Cain will have at least a 2 year learning curve. We may only have 2 years to undo the Obama mess.
I’ll never forgive Sarah for quitting on us. Never.
Perry or Newt...
There is strong feelings in DC, that if Dems pull a stunt that is feared, Rs will turn to Newt strongly.
Although I liked Cain, there is just something odd about him that I can’t put my finger on. I did a bit more reading up on the Contract With America days...actually, I’m liking Newt more and more; pretty clever man, but somewhat distanced from the Tea Party. Can he be sufficiently “educated” by convention time?
no way. but i’m glad he’s in because he’s probably taking support from the rinos.
he support an individual mandate for heathcare. no conservative could ever do that. he was neck deep in the “green” movement scam. again, simply immoral.
no way.
Newt is head and shoulders above everyone out there. I did come full circle with Newt. I was in the Perry corner, short lived..thought about Cain, he’s just foolish. Now I’m with Newt 100%. I have this sick feeling that Mitt gets the nomination...what a mess that will create. What a time for crappy options..other than Newt.
yep
In 2008 I thought Newt should have run for the good of the country. But he was too busy making a million bucks with his books and lecture tours. So I was pretty put out about it. Then he backed Dede Scuzzafuva. But when its all said and done and the dust clears he’s the most qualifed candidate on the platform. I love Herman but the left is not going to stop until they destroy him or at least wound him enough to knock him out of the top spot.
Newt is like Glenn Beck, all of his misdeeds are out there and have been hashed over a thousand times. Its going to work in his favor. I mean what more is there to tell about newt?
He knows what needs to be done and quickly and violently. He has a sense of history. He might be the right man for the job. Seriously ask yourself,,Romney vs. Newt. Not hard for me to pick.
Reluctantly.
I like 999 but Cain isn't serious enough learning issues and policy, particularly foreign policy. There's a lackadaisical attitude there that I cannot support. It doesn't make sense given his education.
Perry wasn't ready or very committed. He might sell me on Texas but he can't articulate well and that undermines any policy proposal he might have.
Santorum's seven kids need a dad. Bachmann needs to work on keeping her House seat. Ron Paul is Ron Paul.
Who would think this is the slate we'd have to go against the weakest incumbent in a generation?
Unfortunately, like millions of voters, I'll be confined to the sidelines watching what our "betters" in Iowa, New Hampshire and the anointed early states decide to hand us because they're just so darn good at it!

Newt received $300k lobbying on behalf of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to bail them out; now he talks about sending people to jail. Newt is a whore and hypocrite.

On one hand the nation wallows gleefully in almost every sort of depravity, on the other we go puritanical over minor peccadilloes real or imagined.
It isn't sane.
Yes. I have been far more concerned about his man-caused global warming nonsense than the gossip about his alleged affairs. Our country needs someone of his intellectual and leadership abilities.
Cain is still my first pick, but Gingrich has always been high on my list. I didn’t think he could make it across the threshold at 1600 because of all the baggage he’s carrying, but I am changing my mind.
My dream ticket at this point is Cain/Gingrich, but I could go the other way. Cain is the sales guy that can bring it straight to the American people, but Gingrich is always the smartest guy in the room wherever he is. I believe he would be a great Cheney type VP. He knows DC, and he knows where all the skeletons are buried, and he could be a great “behind the scene ball buster”.
It would be especially satisfying to those of us who remember how the left and the media hated him as Speaker. OMG anyone who thinks they were unfair to W, needs to go back and read some of the venom spewed at Gingrich. Time magazine put a doctored photo of him, full face, as the Grinch, and called him “The Gingrich Who Stole Christmas”. LOL! It would give me great pleasure to watch the MSM heads exploding election night having to refer to a President, or Vice President Gingrich. Pure joy it would be! An early Christmas gift.
